With this logic, we got a PHP 5.3 as well, and with the same logic there will be a PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and we never get to 6. Instead of putting stuff in PHP 5.4 (which at the moment is *not* planned), why not focus all effort on 6 to make sure it comes out faster? And although this feature is useful, it's not something that I would *really-need-right-now*. regards, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org twitter: @derickr -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
